Your relationship story can be pretty complicated this month. Loving
Venus, your ruling planet, is still backpedaling in your 7th House of
Partners until November 18. The retrograde period that began on October 8
is likely to stir up issues from the past. Old resentments may surface
that cause doubt or bitterness but sweet memories can also return that
rekindle your hope for romance. However, the challenge is that you are
living in the present and need to address things as they are, not as
they were.

The New Moon on November 5 can trigger intense emotions. Your partner
or someone you’d like to get closer to can feel controlling and
manipulative. It’s possible that you’ll enjoy this at first since the
power of his or her passion can exciting. But letting someone else’s
desires lead the parade will probably be unsatisfying in the long run.
Be honest with yourself about what you want and don’t want in a
relationship at this time. Knowing this in your head and your heart
allows you to make healthier decisions instead of simply reacting to
what someone else wants.

Venus backs into your 6th House of Adjustment on November 7, which
calls for a cooler attitude, one that lets you think more clearly. You
may be able to bring peace to a sticky situation, recognize the changes
you can make to get a current partnership back on track or make you more
attractive candidate for a new one.
